I'm no format, video, encoder or law expert, but how does MPEG-4 fit? I know that it's at least considered to be the best alternative for professional video by most video camera vendors as well as producers in the professional video and broadcasting world. Theora is nice because it's FOSS, but I believe e.g. H.264 is a lot better in quality and will also prove better in hardware decoding support in the coming months/years. -- Asbjørn Ulsberg -=|=- http://virtuelvis.com/quark/ «He's a loathsome offensive brute, yet I can't look away»
